LOL... sorry: I replaced the actual host and domain with placeholders
in my post. ;)

The actual mailq entries look more like this (sorry for the bad wrap):

-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient-----------
i9JN4oUN030313      173 Tue Oct 19 19:04 <www at zurg.thedestefanos.com>
                 (Deferred: 450 <www at zurg.thedestefanos.com>: Sender address r)
                                         <jody at thechocolateshack.com>

And a sample error from an mqueue entry:

MDeferred: 450 <www at zurg.thedestefanos.com>: Sender address rejected:
Domain not found

"zurg" is the host name of the FBSD server, which hosts my apache2 Web server. 
"thedestefanos.com" is the local domain (but a FQDN).

I'm pretty sure it's not the way I've configured the script, because I
only replaced the necessary variables, and the messages are making it
to the mail server queue (but not any further).

However, other mail (such as my daily reports) is getting sent through
without a hitch.

If you wouldn't mind having a look, the form is here:

The script is here:

I can also supply the files as text if needed.

Thanks,
